Rollators provide support for people who need assistance with issues such as balancing when walking or are at risk of falling. Another benefit of rollators are that they are designed to combat fatigue and many of them even include a seat.
There are many factors at play when deciding on the right rollator. Upper body strength, handleability, the user’s health, height and weight should all be taken into consideration.
Buyers should also take into account what activities the rollator will play a part of. Many rollators are designed to aid the user in getting from A to B. However, some such as the ToPro Olympos (pictured) have the option of off-road tyres, to traverse slightly difficult terrain.
Another factor is cost. Thankfully, rollators are available at many price points, from the budget-friendly, entry-level Zoom Plus, right up to the stylish, and sleek Rollz Flex. All offer something slightly different from the rest.
